Well, she said it was never going to happen, so I didn't want her to think that her eyes were playing tricks on her.

Lyn is an assist trophy, but Sonic is playable. That is lame.

Uh, Sonic & Mario have been considered "rivals" in the gaming industry for a very long time, and now they finally get the chance to FIGHT eachother, & you think that's lame?

There hasn't been a good sonic game since the days of the genesis. If they are gonna put in 3rd party characters at least make them good.

That's a matter of opinion. Besides, Sonic is an icon in video games regardless.

A castlevania character should have been in. There have been several for nintendo systems. Metal gear had one or two games and sonic never had a good one on Nintendo.

It would've been more out of place if Alucard was added to the roster than Sonic. Who do you think is more recognizable to the masses?

It shouldn't matter if a character had a good game on a system or not. As I've said, Sonic & Mario have a long history and rivalry (to an extent). That's really the main reason why he was added.

I'm sure there'll be assloads of Nintendo-specific characters anyway, so I see no reason to complain for Sonic wanting to join in on the fun. Sheesh..

Those were my opinions as you said. I never said they were facts. I still do think it is lame that sonic is in and Lyn is an assist trophy. Nintendo characters should be playable if they are in. I never knew mario and sonic were "rivals". Sonic and Knuckles are rivals, Sonic and Mario...I don't see how they even matter to each other aside from them being platformers.
And as for Alucard not being recognizable, they put in several characters that were Japan only, or few people knew about (Marth, Roy, Mr. Game and watch) so I don't think it would be a big deal. Plus if they saw Alucard in the game im sure a ton of people that have never played a Castlevania game before would be playing as him alot.

As for snake, I wonder if Konami had a deal with nintendo to put him in the game in exchange for MGSTTS coming to gamecube. Just a thought. At least snake is an interesting character.

Mario & Sonic were rivals being that Sega & Nintendo were rivals at one point.

Sonic is cooler than Lyn anyway (just my opinion..)

OMG, best day ever!!!! Sonic is in the game!!!! Man, I loved today.

Yeah if he plays anything like Fox in terms of speed, I'll be gettin' me a new Favorite this winter.

Good stuff.  I hope he gets Green Hill Zone as a stage.

I don't know.  He actually looks much, much faster than Fox...there's likely to be a massive learning curve with Sonic.  But, if the videos are any indication, learning the character will pay off...

Bad news guys, the game got delayed...till February...

[crisis]

All good things to those who wait

Feb. 10th is what gonintendo says. Hopefully they will be adding more characters than oringinally planned. I guess i'll just get it for my b-day.

[Clara E. Leet]

My bet's that the delay is due to Sonic getting added.
